Plcdsc  read  before  eoiisiiliiui:^  the  Catalogue. 

It  is  a  distinctive  feature  of  this  Catalogue  that  it  separates  the  no- 
tices of  the  dece  ised  from  those  of  the  living,  arranging  the  former  by 
themselves  in  the  order  in  which  the  deaths  occurred.  This  plan  has 
its  disadvantages  as  well  as  its  advantages.  That  it  renders  possible 
the  stereotyping  of  the  Necrological  list,  in  some  future  edition,  when 
it  shall  have  been  made  as  complete,  up  to  date,  as  it  is  ever  likely  to  be, 
seemed  to  the  compiler  a  decisive  consideration.  As  long  as  a  man  is 
living,  his  record  is  subject  to  change,  and  is  therefore  not  ready  to  stereo- 
type. Under  this  view  of  the  case,  the  names  of  the  deceased,  in  the 
few  instances  where  the  date  of  death  has  not  been  at  least  approxi- 
mately ascertained,  have  been  placed  in  the  Class  lists  and  not  in  the 
Necrology. 

With  some  variations,  each  full  notice  consists  of  two  or  three  parts, 
viz  :  first,  statistics  of  personal  history  ;  second,  statistics  of  profes- 
sional services  ;  third,  special  statistics.  In  the  professional  statistics, 
the  name  of  a  place  is  that  of  a  field  of  labor,  and  presumably,  a  field 
in  which  the  man  is  a  pastor  or  acting  pastor.  Wherever  the  case  is 
known  to  be  otherwise,  the  design  has  been  to  indicate  it. 

The  design  has  been  to  insert  the  names  of  all  persons  who,  at  any 
known  date,  have  been  trustees,  treasurers,  professors  or  students  of 
Auburn  ;  and  to  insert  each  name  in  all  the  lists  to  which  it  belongs. 
But  \\\t  full  notice  of  each  person  appears  in  only  one  list.  A  reference 
to  this  is  given  in  the  other  places  where  the  name  occurs. 

The  full  notice  of  men  who  deceased  at  a  known  date  appears,  in 
all  instances,  in  the  Necrological  list.  In  the  other  lists,  simply  the 
name  is  given,  with  the  date  of  death,  the  latter  serving  as  a  reference 
to  the  place  of  the  full  notice. 

The  full  notice  of  living  men  who  have  been  students,  appears  in  the 
list  of  Alumni.  In  the  cases  in  which  any  of  these  have  also  been  trus- 
tees, professors,  or  post  graduates,  only  their  names  are  given  in  these 
other  lists,  with  a  reference  to  the  class  to  which  they  belonged. 

In  the  case  of  men  who  belonged  to  different  classes  in  the  Semi- 
nary, the  full  notice  is  given  in  the  list  of  the  class  with  which  they 
graduated;  but  if  they  did  not  graduate  here,  usually  in  that  of  the 
class  with  which  they  were  first  connected. 


6  EXPLANATORY    STATEMENTS. 

Those  who  pursued  selected  studies  only  are  catalogued  with  the 
class  with  which  they  principally  studied. 

As  the  fullest  notice  includes  all  the  briefer  ones,  the  latter  are 
omitted  in  the  references  in  the  alphabetical  index. 

Each  class  is  catalogued  in  two  alphabetical  lists,  the  second  of 
which  contains  the  names  of  men  of  whom  it  is  known  that  they  did 
not  graduate  with  the  class,  though  they  were  at  some  time  connected 
with  it.  In  a  few  special  instances,  men  who  substantially  completed 
the  course  have  been  listed  as  graduates,  although  they  were  not  so, 
technically. 

In  the  Necrological  list,  the  age  at  death  is  given  by  the  nearest 
birthday,  which  is  sometimes  the  last  birthday,  and  sometimes  not. 

When  several  successive  fields  of  labor  or  places  of  residence  are  in 
the  same  State,  the  mention  of  the  State  is  ordinarily  omitted,  except 
in  the  first  of  the  successive  items.  The  same  method  is  adopted  with 
names  of  religious  denominations,  and  of  modes  of  service. 

The  Catalogue  shows  some  lack  of  uniformity  in  the  spelling  of 
names  of  places.  In  most  instances  this  is  due  to  their  being  variously 
spelled  by  intelligent  correspondents.  There  is  also  a  great  lack  of 
uniformity  in  the  matter  of  abbreviations,  but  this  is  the  less  important 
since  no  abbreviations  are  used  except  such  as  are  self  explaining. 

It  is  probable  that  some  of  the  ordinations  reported  as  by  Congrega- 
tional Associations  were  actually  either  by  Consociation,  or  by  Council 
called  within  the  limits  of  the  Association  named. 

The  compiler  has  deemed  it  no  part  of  his  duty  to  publish  a  record 
of  cases  of  di'^cipline,  either  by  the  Seminary  authorities  or  by  the  va- 
rious ecclesiastical  bodies  to  which  the  Auburn  men  have  belonged. 
He  has  tried,  however,  so  to  adjust  the  record  that  it  shall  not  appear 
to  hold  any  ecclesiastical  body  responsible  for  men  whom  it  has  disfel- 
lowshiped. 

The  compiler  has  taken  especial  pleasure  in  the  record  of  those 
Alumni  who  did  not  enter  the  ministry,  or  who  soon  left  it  for  other 
])ursuils.  As  good  citizens  and  effective  Christian  workers,  the  larger 
number  of  these  men  need  not  blush  to  compare  themselves  with  their 
clerical  brethren.  They  are  a  standing  and  sufficient  proof  that  a 
Theological  education  is  not  lost,  even  if  its  recipient  turns  out  to  have 
no  call  to  the  ministry. 

As  to  ''published  works,"  the  original  idea  was  to  include  only  vol- 
umes in  this  Catalogue  The  mention  of  pamphlets,  articles,  and  other 
lesser  works  has  been  unsystematically  and  therefore  unequally  made. 
The  compiler  greatly  regrets  his  lack  of  uniformity  of  plan  in  this  matter. 

He  also  regrets  that  the  necessary  limitations  of  his  work  prevent 
the  specific  commemoration  in  it  of  certain  large  classes  of  the  friends 
of  the  Seminary,  or  of  certain  important  phases  of  the  work  which 
the  Seminary  has  accomplished.  As  it  now  stands,  it  does  not  men- 
tion the  founders  of  the  Seminary,  as  such,  nor  its  long  roll  of  com- 
missioners from  the  Presbyteries,  nor  the  generous  men  and  women 
who  have  contributed  to  its  endowment.  Such  of  these  men  as  were 
also  trustees  or  treasurers  or  professors  or  students  of  Auburn,  are,  in- 
deed, mentioned  in  those  characters,  but,  with  a  few  exceptions,  their 


KXl'LANATOKY  STATEMENTS.  7 

gifts  and  special  services,  either  to  Auburn  or  to  other  institutions,  are 
not  here  recorded. 

The  compiler  has  ke[jt  in  mind  that  this  Catalogue  is  strictly  a  book 
of  statistics  He  has  carefully  filed  every  scrap  of  information  which 
has  come  into  his  possession,  that  it  might  be  available  for  use  in  case 
any  one  should  feel  called  upon  to  write  a.  voXwrna  o(  i/ie/)iorabiiia  ;  but 
he  has  refused  to  admit  non-statistical  material  into  the  Catalogue. 
Had  it  been  practicable,  however,  he  would  gladly  have  added  the  fol- 
lowing to  the  lists  herein  printed  : 

First,  a  list  of  the  founders  and  commissioners  of  the  Seminary,  in 
the  order  of  their  first  terms  of  service.  This  should  have  included 
the  persons  who  were  present  at  the  preliminary  meetings,  before  the 
Board  of  Commissioners  was  organized,  or  who  otherwise  prominently 
participated  in  the  founding  of  the  Seminary,  together  with  all  the 
commissioners  who  have  actually  attended  any  meeting  of  the  Board, 
a  notice  of  all  the  years  in  which  he  attended  being  attached  to  the 
name  of  each  one.  If  a  commissioner  has  at  any  time  been  a  student 
of  the  Seminary,  or  a  trustee  or  professor  or  treasurer,  it  should  have 
been  noted,  with  date,  in  this  list.  If  not,  and  if  his  relations  to  the 
Seminary  were  somewhat  permanent,  the  list  should  have  included 
statistics  of  him.  Attached  to  this  should  have  been  the  roll  of  the 
presidents,  clerks,  and  stated  clerks  of  the  Commissioners,  with  their 
dates  of  service. 

Secondly,  a  list  of  the  financial  benefactors  of  the  Seminary.  This 
should  have  been,  in  form,  less  strictly  statistical  than  the  other  parts 
of  the  Catalogue.  It  should  have  included  some  account  of  the  vari- 
ous attempts  to  raise  money,  from  the  first,  v^^ith  the  names  of  the  finan- 
cial agents,  salaried  and  unsalaried,  who  have  been  employed.  To  this 
should  have  been  added  the  names  of  the  principal  donors,  in  the  or- 
der of  their  first  noted  gifts.  If  the  name  of  a  donor  occurs  in  the 
previous  lists  of  the  Catalogue,  there  should  have  been  a  reference  to 
it,  and  if  not,  a  brief  statistical  sketch.  In  this  list  it  would  have  been 
possible  to  do  that  which  could  not  be  done  in  the  other  lists,  namely, 
to  make  grateful  and  decorous  acknowledgment  of  the  beneficence  of 
the  men  and  women  who  have  endowed  the  Seminary.  It  might  have 
been  completed  by  adding  the  history  of  the  names  of  professorships, 
buildings,  and  halls  in  the  old  building,  with  other  memorial  names. 

Thirdly,  there  should  have  been  a  series  of  generalizations  from  the 
preceding  lists  ;  for  example,  a  complete  list  of  works  published  by 
members  of  the  Seminary  ;  a  roll  of  foreign  missionaries,  and  one  of 
pioneer  missionaries;  a  roll  of  pastorates  exceeding  25  years;  a  roll 
of  College  and  Seminary  presidents  and  professors,  and  tables  repre- 
senting 'he  sources  whence  the  Seminary  has  drawn  its  supply  of  stu- 
dents, and  the  fields  whither  it  has  distributed  its  graduates. 

These  additions  would  have  been  of  genuine  statistical  value.  Nev- 
ertheless, in  view  of  the  current  estimates  of  the  worth  of  such  work, 
the  compiler  is  more  afraid  of  being  censured  for  having  devoted  too 
much  time  to  it  than  too  little. 

For  accuracy  and  completeness,  it  is  believed  that  this  Catalogue  will 
compare  favorably  with  other  works  of  the  kind.     But  of  course  it  is

love  Auburn,  and  not  least,  to  the  patient,  painstaking  printers  of  the

TRUSTEES. 


Note.  When  the  date  of  the  death  of  a  Trustee  is  given,  the  full 
notice  of  him  will  be  found  in  the  Necrological  list,  under  that  date. 
When  only  the  Seminary  class  to  whicli  he  belonged  is  given,  tlie  notice 
will  be  found  in  its  proper  place  in  the  list  of  that  class. 

As  the  naines  of  the  men  who  have  been  elected  Trustees,  but  have 
not  served,  have  been  published  in  previous  Catalogues,  it  has  been 
thought  proper  to  retain  them,  but  without  statistics.
